Unveiling
The Reef Collection
The Reef Collection Residences at the Andaz Turks & Caicos comprises six exclusive units uniquely positioned closer to the water and the reef than any other property on Grace Bay. These residences are more than luxury homes; they are a testament to our commitment to environmental sustainability and ocean conservation.
As the very first partners in the Turks & Caicos Reef Fund "Reef Keeper” program, we are dedicated to supporting coral conservation and advancing global coral education and research. We invite you to join us in this extraordinary lifestyle experience, where luxury meets a profound dedication to preserving the natural beauty of the Turks & Caicos Islands.
